Who I am and how I coach:

I am a spiritual counselor & life-coach, guide, mentor, ceremonialist, artist, and earth-lover.  I have spent my life dedicated to the weaving of personal and collective transformation and liberation and supported hundreds of people from youth through adulthood, through transformational experiences that invoke a heart-full connection to self, community, earth, and spirit. 

Whether working with individuals or groups, my focus is on growing your inner and outer resources and discovering the answers that are already within when we slow down long enough to listen.  From there it is easeful to see and take the steps that are truly aligned with your deepest callings and values.

I consider myself a weaver, bringing together many modalities to support your intentions for your life. I use an ontological coaching model combined with techniques drawn from nature connection, energy psychology, intuitive guiding, somatic and parts work, ceremonial studies, and wilderness guiding.  I am an ICF accredited coach, trained with the Academy for Coaching Excellence, one of the most rigorous training schools accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Of Jewish and Italian heritage, I was raised from a young age to be active in creating a world that is just for all. My journey began in 8th grade as co-founder of the Philadelphia Student Union. My 30s included developing Jewish nature based programming for Wilderness Torah, and becoming Founder and Executive Director of Gaia Passages, a non-profit dedicated to empowering girls and gender expansive youth through nature based mentorship and Rites of Passage.

My current collaborative offerings include Wild Wisdom, which offers nature-soul based wilderness journeys for womxn, and offering retreats here at my home in Sebastopol for women and with my beloved Jens Jarvie.

In my personal life I am committed to a balance of work and play, progress and process, stillness and movement and making beauty through art, music, food, and community, inspired by my curiosity and learning of this life.
